    Wtf. You obviously haven’t looked into EVs. There’s still all those things, a planetary gear set because you need Regen braking and you need wheel speed at X rpm and need to keep electric engine below… 12000? Rpm, likely lower.

    You don’t need fluid clutch, you can reduce brakes with Regen braking, but still need emergency braking. There are some designs with two motors for each wheel, but it complicated Regen energy storage.
